Introduction
Dr Seuss' The Lorax Inspired Names in Pop Culture
The world is a bright place thanks to the way he thought, which makes him a worthy genius. Many of his fans would agree that he belongs among all the other masters. Dr. Seuss, or Theodor Seuss Geisel (Ted for short), had a unique view of the world. Although it looked like his work was completed within twenty minutes, it took him months, sometimes even years to release his work to the public. He was a perfectionist of the worst kind, and nothing would leave his desk until he was ready. He once likened writing the words to birth pains. Each one took a lot out of him.
He would sit for hours, contemplating the way he structured a sentence. His view of the world was whimsical and fresh, it was a view that he shared with all his readers. He taught them to love life, laugh a lot and not to be so serious. He taught them to take the serious things seriously, but laugh when things made them happy. He taught them to respect their environment and to love animals. The things he taught, were the things he practiced.
It is easy to see his love for animals in his work, especially for cats. But his true love was for dogs. He had a few beloved pets in his lifetime, but no-one ever took the place of Theophrastus. Theophrastus was a stuffed dog that he received at a very young age. He only got a real dog, named Rex, when he was about ten. But Theophrastus was real to him and inspired many of his characters. The stuffed puppy became a companion and Ted was loyal to his friend. Theophrastus used to sit on his desk and watch him write. Near the end, he entrusted his beloved dog to his stepdaughter Lea Grey, asking her to take special care of his lifelong companion.
